  "account": "Karachi’s freshly constructed elevated U-turn on University Road now has a designated speed limit, according to TransKarachi, the Frontier Works Organization (FWO), and the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (PMCSC). The joint statement from these authorities revealed that vehicles utilizing the elevated U-turn must adhere to a maximum speed of 30 km/h to ensure safe travel and maneuverability. The elevated structure can accommodate vehicles up to 12 meters in length, including cars and buses. Its ramps have a width of 5 meters, while the turning sections measure 6 meters in width. The design accommodates one car and one motorcycle traveling side by side. In the event of a vehicle breakdown or stall on the U-turn, another car can pass it. Vehicles descending from the elevated structure merge seamlessly into the existing three-lane traffic flow, as limited road space prevented the creation of a separate merging lane. The elevated U-turn is an integral part of the Karachi BRT Red Line project and was designed based on current traffic conditions, available road space, and internationally recognized standards. The announcement of the speed limit for the new elevated U-turn was made through a joint statement by TransKarachi, the Frontier Works Organization, and the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation.",
